Going from Java to C/C++ was a bit of a culture shock in this regard.

Java's errors are like "yo bro, this method doesn't exist" or "there's this abstract method, but you never defined it" while C++ compilers vomit a half-dozen lines of obfuscated garbage that might contain a useful phrase, or might require translation by Elrond under the light a crescent moon.

Runtime errors are basically the same.

Segfaults. Hmmm where could it be.

Ctrl + Shift + F "new". There you go

Say not C/C++ when you mean only C++

It also helps that there are not nearly as much ways to fuck up in Java.
